Mutton Korma

Mouth watering Mutton Korma!!

Yes! Mutton Korma is one of the South delicacy. It's a rich Mutton gravy usually made with coconut and spices. Goes great with Paratha, Dosa or Chapathi. Same recipe can also be adapted for making Chicken Korma. What I have understood about korma is, in North India usually Korma is based on Yogurt and Nuts and in South the gravy is based on Coconut. Both the Korma's are different when u taste. Here i have posted south Indian Korma. Cook & relish.
